Congratulations! I too am more of a slow and steady loser so it is encouraging to see your losing weight did not stop after 6 months! I can't wait to see your goals accomplished!

I've been waiting for your post! I need to do mine. I love that you're still coming around and sharing your experience. You haven't had an easy journey but you've done a truly fantastic job.

You will eventually hit your goal - you're just going to have a slow time of it, same as the rest of your journey. I understand how frustrated you've gotten along the way. But oh my gosh, what a change! Isn't it worth the effort, even if it's slow going and aggravating as hell at times?

You look beautiful and it's apparent even in your pictures that you're slowing regaining some confidence. You've earned this body you're in right now - enjoy it, lady!

I'm very happy for you. I, personally, enjoy your input here on the boards. I think it's necessary for newbies to realize that just as weight loss programs aren't one-size-fits-all, life post sleeve isn't the same for everyone, either. I think if more people had better, healthier expectations, we wouldn't see half of the posts here that we see!

Best of luck to you on your continued journey, and congrats! You really do look awesome!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
